Wedding Party
Amanda Bateman
Maid of Honor
It all started in 1998, Mrs. Dalton's 3rd grade class, when Amanda was assigned to be Bre's Best Buddy on her first day at a new school. Here we are 28 years later and Amanda is still doing that job.
BJ Malfitano
Best Man
23 Years ago Johns mom and BJs dad got married and created a new blended family. BJ and John despite the large age gap became very close from wrestling to see who had to sleep on the roll away bed on vacation or to playing video hockey against each other. Although technically "step" brothers neither one of them have ever used that label it has always just been Brothers.
Stepheny Stone
Chief Bridesmaid
Since 9th grade Bre and Stepheny have been like sisters - head butting included. From Rawkin' Hawks, to girls trips, through ups and downs and highs and lows. Steph even got to vet John early on and he survived, which was a pretty good sign.
Justin Owens
Groomsman
A friendship began at M-G Feeds when Justin was hired to become the Maintenance Supervisor. Due to the old nature of the facility John and Justin had to put their heads together on many occasions to keep the facility running. Due to the amount of time spent at work together a real friendship came to. Justin and his wife Jennifer along with her parents welcomed John in as part of the family and has been that way ever since.
Megan Allemand
Bridesmaid
It all started at ACU Dallas - the bond of two dog-loving, dress-up mastering, 90's kids. No matter if we are hitting up a baseball game, grabbing margaritas, or dragging the boys along with us, we always have a good time.
Brennan Coleman
Groomsman
Started as co-workers then became friends then eventually Brennan became Johns boss. The friendship started bonding over actively trying to annoy our Project Manager during our time in Iowa. John and Brennan recognized that it would be more efficient if they teamed up to annoy their boss and they were correct.
Aubrey Otero
Bridesmaid
More than a sister-in-law, Aubrey's been around most of Bre's life. The first of her brother's girlfriends to be nice, even if Bre was skeptical and not so nice in return (don't worry, they get along great now).
Ryan Otero
Groomsman
The first time hanging out with Ryan was at the Cosm where Ryan, Aubrey, Bre and John went to watch a Steelers game. John being the odd man out as a Cowboys fan created a bond with Ryan of poking fun at the other ones team. Although John will occasionally root for the Steelers (only if it doesn't affect the Cowboys) it does not seem likely that Ryan will ever root for the Cowboys.
Nora Otero
Junior Bridesmaid
BEAN! Aunt Bebe is Bean's biggest fan - from golf to Harry Potter fandom (okay John might beat Bre on that one). We just can't figure out where Nora gets her sassiness and remarkable facial expressions from ;)
Nolan Otero
Junior Groomsman
The one that promoted Bre to Aunt Bebe, and 1/3 of the men in Bre's life named after Nolan Ryan. Nolan embraced Uncle John quickly and loves to show him how to beat a video game, or learn about life on the farm.
